> > "As a shining beacon of freedom and democracy, America has inspired the

> > According to top Bush Administration officials, if the measure is passed

> > In addition, no demonstration against U.S. actions by any foreign nation

> > "After the unspeakable events of last Sept. 11, the U.S. was deeply
>touched
> > by the outpouring of support and condolences from our neighbors and 
>allies
> > the world over," Bush said. "This kindness played a vital role in our

> > long-standing self-image as THE country, with all other nations lumped
> > together into a vague, foreign Other Place. I call upon you now to join 
>us
> > in our vision of America as the only country whose wishes matter."
> >
> > Bush then turned to the pressing issue of Iraq.
> >
> > "Despite repeated American efforts to change the situation, Saddam

> >
> > In addition to enabling the U.S. to address foreign crises, Bush said

> > "While there exist many grave threats to America abroad, we suffer still
> > more problems-from unemployment to a lack of quality, affordable
> > housing-right here at home," Bush said. "After this resolution is 
>passed,
>we
> > will begin a 10-year project to clean out our nation's landfills and
> > toxic-waste sites, transport the materials to Central American jungles,
>and
> > build low-cost housing on the newly cleared land. This would solve the
> > housing shortage, create thousands of construction jobs, and improve our
> > nation's environment, all in one fell swoop."
> >
> > As much of a boon as it would be to America, Bush stressed that his plan
> > will also benefit the rest of the world, giving foreigners greater 
>access
> > than ever to American goods and entertainment.
> >
> > "From the Beijing businessman who treats his family to dinner at KFC to
>the
> > New Delhi textile worker who unwinds after a hard day's work by watching
> > Friends, the world community has embraced our many wonderful cultural
